When telegraph keys across the country begin bursting into flamesβand chattering ghostly nonsenseβthe terror and turmoil is enough to bring the railways, banks, and news industry to a standstill. Thereβs only one person they can turn to: Mrs. Ophelia Wylde, a young widow turned detective who has famously brought murderers to justiceβby speaking to their victims on the other side. Are the recent telegraph mishaps a message from beyond? Opheliaβs not sure, but the fact that the keyβs last operator, Lightning βHaplessβ Hopkins, has been poisoned is enough to raise her darkest suspicions. Itβs up to Ophelia to unravel the riddle of the ghostly wire tap, solve the murder of Hapless Hopkins, and expose the secret history of the telegraphβs little-known co-inventorΒ .Β .Β . before her own life is on the line.
